Because they were told to by john delaney..the same man who would deny the soccer people in limerick (and munster) a chance to see barcelona play in thomond park, a bad day for Limerick soccer...never a fan of roy keane but i understand why he has such a dislike for the people who run soccer in this country.

Are the 3 Junior teams playing in the FAI Senior Cup this weekend?

Tullamore V Fairview Rangers
Bluebell V Pike
Regional V Belgrove

Does anyone know if these games are going ahead?

maybe because pike were illegal in the whole competition ...that might have something to do with it....if they werent they would be no objection and they would be in the semi final...

Would Pike still get to play?? or would Michaels play?

When is the other semi to be played

**daisycutter** · 14/05/2010, 6:05 PM

big can of worms opened for pike now isnt there!!!thats a cop out of a decision,well done delaney and co ............saipan........

**faces** · 14/05/2010, 7:11 PM

hopefuly the limerick teams will let pike get on with winning the league and give us all a break at this stage from objections.did we all hear the saying may the best man win.in other words pike are best in league and deserve to win whehter we like it or not.hopefuly the ldmc will use common sense and throw out these objections being handed into them.

**Bonovox** · 14/05/2010, 7:24 PM

As Roy the boy told us when we lost to France - get over it and move on. Pike played an illegal player - the Irish love their ould conspiracy theories. Its black and white - you snooze you loose.

**buster27** · 14/05/2010, 9:17 PM

Shame to see Pike going out of the cup like this.. But fair is fair, they fielded an illegal player and the correct decision was upheld today..
If it was the other way around Pike would have objected.

Hopefully Fairview do us proud and bring the cup back to Limerick

**MikeBassett** · 14/05/2010, 9:22 PM

Is this THE end of it so? When are St. Michael's playin Town? When is the final itself pencilled in for?

**Fairkop** · 14/05/2010, 10:03 PM

its a shame for pike and limerick soccer but having been knocked back 3 times now its time for pike to move on and hopefully continue with the rest of their season.

**twohalves** · 14/05/2010, 10:37 PM

What a pity.An all-Limerick final would have been brilliant with two of the best run clubs in Ireland playing in Jackman! Lets be honest,Pike would have stuffed Mick's in any replay that may have happened as they did fairly in the quarter final.If there's any football justice it will be Town v Fairview in the final and lets all hope that it is a good final afterall to put a disastrous off the field season behind everyone.Pike will no doubt come back even stronger next season and already will be a good bet for the FAI in 2011.

**van der wheil** · 15/05/2010, 10:24 AM

Can anyone tell me why certain people on here are blaming John delaney for this??An independent arbitration barrister yesterday ruled Pike were illegal - regardless of Mr Delaneys standing in the game he would have had no influence on that decision.Its very unfortuunate what has happened to Pike as i have no doubt they thought Colm Caroll was eligible to play but if it was Balla,Fairview or Boro at arbitration yesterday the same verdict would have been delievered if they too had fielded an illegal player.

Right result, Pike are gone there is an old saying what goes around comes around.
And it has come around big time FAI, MJC, possible loss of league points aswell.

Fairview, league and FAI champions take note Pike, how the biggest junior club in the country behaves itself on and OFF THE FIELD.

Yeah because calling Fairview champions already is a very respectful way to behave...pot kettle black

Having being knocked out by Pike in the 1/4 finals I am not going to have too much sympathy for them in this instance. If they did the crime they have to do the time. Its a pity the biggest club competition in europe is dragged into the mud like this. I wisj good luck to the teams left and may the best team win.
